Reviews of Australian Production:

In its 5 star review The Herald Sun said, “It is a privilege to witness the consummate professionalism and fine acting of two of America’s stage and screen royalty, Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones.”

TheSydneyMorning Herald critic raved, “I have never been happier jumping out of my chair and applauding wildly, while wiping away moisture from my cheeks.”

The Sydney Season praises “With a cast whose reach transcends generations and whose successes are multitudinous, it is impossible to approach this play without the highest of expectations, and it does not, for a moment, disappoint.”

New York and London reviews have said; race, don’t walk to get a ticket, as Driving Miss Daisy is unmissable!”
